Petalite

Essential Meaning

Witnessing, the Observer, an ability to detach, the impersonal quality of the universe

Sometimes life feels too close for comfort; decisions are difficult to make when you’re taking life so personally. This is particularly true for empaths and sensitives. When Petalite Spirit arrives, it’s here to give you the ability to step back and observe with detachments and neutrality. There is a place within you that allows you to observe without emotion. See the world with the perspective of acceptance, trying to change not what you see as external to you but rather the lens through which you perceive it.

Now is the time to step back and observe what is in front of you. Are you reacting to something that is triggering you, or are you overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information that you need to process and the time required to sort things out? Petalite Spirit reminds you that a clear, detached manner will empower you to understand the true nature of what is in front of you now and to take your next steps in your own time.

Relationship Message

There are times when you’re emotionally too close to a situation to come to a real conclusion. It’s also possible that what is really going on can’t be seen by analyzing the details, and guessing at the motives for someone else’s behavior may be triggering you. Right now, the way forward is to step back, do nothing, and observe the dynamic between you and the other person. Soon everything will become clear, and by you becoming the Observer, you’ll find that you didn’t really need to do anything to change this situation. It has a life of its own and is offering you a valuable lesson. Sometimes we want to fix something right away when all we’re invited to do is to hold space and listen.

Prosperity Message

When you get bogged down with all the details and complexities of a situation, it requires patience and the ability to step back and observe the bigger picture at work. When intending abundance there are times when you think you have all the answers, or you believe you know the “how” of getting to a goal or outcome, when in fact you don’t. The universe must play its part, and that means you don’t have to be afraid! Even temporary setbacks will lead to big wins if you avoid reacting to the temporary conditions that arise when you make changes and reach for something greater. There is a saying: new level, new devil. Imagine that relating to your own resistance to greatness. Petalite Spirit says to trust and observe to remind yourself, from the position of the Observer, everything is interesting.
